A Family Advent Day 11

Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” {Luke‬ ‭2:8-14‬}

Here are some lines from “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Are any of these you?

“I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree. Everything I do turns into a disaster. I guess I really don't know what Christmas is all about.” – Charlie Brown

“Charlie Brown, you're the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Maybe Lucy's right. Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest.” – Linus Van Pelt

“I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I'm not happy. I don't feel the way I'm supposed to feel.” – Charlie Brown

“I never eat December snowflakes. I always wait until January.” – Lucy Van Pelt

“Christmas is getting all you can get while the getting is good.” – Sally Brown

“Look, Charlie, let's face it. We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket. It's run by a big eastern syndicate, you know.” - Lucy Van Pelt

“'For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.’… That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.” – Linus Van Pelt
